The rotational support structure includes a first annular groove provided on the movable body, a plate roller including a second annular groove facing the first annular groove in the direction of Z axis, and multiple spherical objects inserted into the first annular groove and the second annular groove. The gimbal mechanism rotatably supports the plate roller around a first axis. The movable body includes a first-side stopper part facing one of plate roller extension portions with a gap from one side in the circumferential direction around the Z axis.
